The WD results have been updated as well. 2 matches have yet been played in WD Round of 32. That includes the match between Kumiko Ogura/Reiko Shiota vs Jo Novita/Gresya Polii. Yesterday, Lita Nurlita/Nathalia Poluakan have lost to the 3/4 seed Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing as I expect...in 3 sets 11-21, 21-16, 14-21. Not a bad result, esp after they have reached the semi-finals in Korea last week. In the XD, Flandy Limpele/Lita Nurlita have advanced to the main draw after winning 2 matches yesterday. They will face He Hanbin/Yu Yang in Round of 32 today. Other matches in the XD include Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms vs Mohd Rizal/Gresya Polii, Tony Gunawan/Minarti Timur vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam, and Hwang Ji Man/Ha Jeung Eun vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir. Tough matches indeed In the WS, Fransisca Ratnasari will face Anna Rice, while Adrianti Firdasari will square up against Tinne Rasmussen. In the MS, its Simon Santoso vs Kestusis Navickas, Henri Hurskainen vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro, and Taufik Hidayat vs Shon Sheung Mo. Finally, in the MD, its Howard Bach/Bob Malaythong vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan, Gan Teik Chai/Abdul Latif Mohd Zakry vs Flandy Limpele/Sigit Budiarto, Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto vs another English pair David Lindley/Chris Langridge and finally Michael Fuchs/Roman Spitko vs Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya. A long day indeed....

darn, reiko/kumiko lost again eh? they haven't been doing well recently, and so we don't get a chance to see them in action!
Womens Singles Saina N, Zhang N, Yao J, Rice A, Huaiwen X, Yanjiao J, Hongyan P, Rasmmussan T, Mori K, Lee Y H, Chen W, Nedelceva P won their respective matches to advance into the 2nd round of the HKO. Four womens singles matches are still going on.
Wow, three Indonesian pairs are out of mixed doubles already but none of them went down without a fight. Rijal/Polii, Nugroho/Marissa, and Limpele/Nurlita all lost in 3 games. Wang Chen has disposed of half the Korean women's singles lineup and will have a crack at the other half, Lee Yun-hwa, tomorrow. You may remember that Lee took Xu Huaiwen to 3 games at home but tomorrow she will face Wang Chen on the latter's home ground.
where do you go from there? which section is it under? i cant seem to find it, can only find the draws and results. thanks
